New Paper Banks Bring Dividends
25 January 2005

The volume of paper being deposited into the new Paper Banks in and around Stornoway are beginning to reap benefits.

Today a bulk loader from DR Macleod Haulage left Bennadrove Recycling Centre with 28 tonnes of paper bound for Stirling Fibre. This is the first shipment of 2005 to be sent to the factory in Kilsyth where it will be used to make paper pulp and from there Recycled paper.

The bulk loader was full to the brim with paper for Recycling, indeed some paper was left at the Bennadrove Centre for future shipments. The load is the first indication of the increase in paper offered for recycling following the delivery of the new paper Banks.
